▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ Release Notes ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
A truly wonderful and lovely orchestrated singersongwriter
pop record for your gratification now. Alberto Matesanz
(Plastic d'Amour) goes solo and generates the perfect record
to enjoy the afterglow of pop after sunset. Mr Matesanz
-somewhere between Benjamin Biolay and Gilbert O'sullivan-
has well-boned songwriting skills, a sharp eye for lyric
detail and an instantly recognizable vocal style. His music
conveys whimsy and sentiment, it is not 'hip' sounding α la
lo-fi or country at all. He has a feel for strong melodies in
a quirky understated way. One should instantly admire Mr.
Matesanz for his good taste in picking influences. In this
masterpiece there are carpaccio slices of what has impacted
us over the last decades: Moose, Nick Drake, Mojave 3, early
Everything but the girl, Sarah records (Brighter, Blueboyà),
Guy Chadwick / House of Love, Kings of Convenience,
Go-Betweens, Swan Dive, Belle and Sebastianà The Maharadja of
Siesta pop has recruited talented and reputed producer Brad
Jones for mastering and vision. The songs subsequently rely
on precise arrangements, solid melodies and smart execution,
neat acoustics and romantic pop roads in elastic beds of
guitars. Midnight sun pop.
After years of apprenticeship in various pop music workshops
and great deal of accumulated experience in legendary bands
of the Madrid scene, Alberto has maintained religiously a
flow of quality songs with a consistency of lyric and melodic
content. Over the years he has been influenced by many
different sources of emotions from French eroticism
(Gainsbourg, Jane Birkin) to traditional sixties pop, from
candy coated eighties UK pop to nineties shoegazer sounds.
Alberto Matesanz has been described as a bit of a mini-Brian
Wilson, with a keen old-fashioned ear for producing, both in
finding original arrangements for pop and in using studio
"tricknology" wisely. For this record he has achieved the
most sophisticated sharpness, yet at the same time oozing a
melancholia. His sense of wit and tunefulness has real
substance but no mannerism. Let's say that he has invented a
minimalism that is as sexy as stardust.
Sol de medianoche has romantic foibles and domestic comedy/
tragedy themes. From the buoyant feel of a carousel ("Cada
vez que amanece", "Dφas") to bittersweet vignettes
(Bastante", "Esperando a que pase"). One can discover moments
of emptiness and solitude ("Noticias") or joyful miniatures
of sweet sunshiney pop ("Beautiful). There is calmness and
quietude ("Pleamar" "Balsa de piedra") and even soft sarcasm
and surrealism ("Nadie lo puede explicar").
Conclusions: This music is incredibly infectious, and the
sound is definitely something to long for. Mate can be
described as haunting, retrospective, and unbearably
beautiful. No, the songs are not depressing at all...but
meaningful, and hopeful. They pleasantly assault your ears
and your memories. Autumn may have passed but Winter and
Spring are great seasons to enjoy it as well.
